It's been 21 years since Freaky Friday released, but star Lindsay Lohan has confirmed the long-awaited sequel is still happening. 

The film, which co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis, sees a teenager and her mother trade places thanks to magical fortune cookies. In the process, they learn a lot about each other – and grow much closer. 

"I don't want to say too much," Lohan told SiriusXM (via E! Online). "And we're both excited. I'm gonna speak for Jamie." However, she remained tight-lipped on a potential timeline for the sequel: "I won't say that yet."

Last year, Curtis explained how the sequel came to be in development. "As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday," she commented. "Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, 'it feels like there's a movie to be made.'"

The Curtis and Lohan Freaky Friday film is based on the novel of the same name by Mary Rodgers, which was first adapted into a film in 1976.

Another of Lohan's iconic movies recently got a musical reboot – Mean Girls, based on the Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 original movie, was released earlier this year. Lohan has a cameo in the film.

Curtis, meanwhile, can soon be seen in the upcoming Borderlands film, an adaptation of the video game. She'll play Dr. Tannis in a cast that features Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Ariana Greenblatt.
